I've tried to find an example of use of まじかる (打消推量の助動詞「まじ」の連体形). However, no
matter how much I search, I can't find any sentence from any real text with
まじかる.

The dictionaries I have consulted do not offer any examples either

<https://kobun.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%98%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8B>

and I don't have at my disposal any physical dictionary in which I could
perhaps find examples.

Could you please help me find an example sentence with まじかる belonging to a
real text?

Example with まじかる


You can search classical Japanese in the following government-funded library.

Just picking a few:

> 住む **まじかる** 山里

> ひとたびは逢ひてふたたび見 **まじかる**

Note that there are more hits for すさまじかる, which is not an instance of the
auxiliary verb まじ.

In classical Japanese the usage is more restricted, since according to 'A
Handbook of Classical Japanese', John Timothy Wixted, the 連体形 of the かり活用 form
is only used with following suffixes, one exception being おおし, おおかる can modify
nouns directly. The normal 連体形 of まじ is thus まじき or まじい; from 枕草子, the name of
a section, 打ち解くまじきもの, 'Things one cannot be inattentive about', 打ち解く 'to be
negligent about, to be inattentive about'.

Compare this with, for example, 其願はむなしかるべくは, 'if that desire is pointless'
(平家物語).
